Miró produced a massive output of art during his lifetime. His works were a reflection of the turbulent and fast-moving times in which he lived. He wanted to reach people by experimenting with all genres of art and by using many different media. Remembered dreams and hungry hallucinations became his muse. He explored surrealism. His work became increasingly abstract and his forms organic. He had an immense influence on his fellow artists. This bronze is both humorous and vaguely unsettling - a small representation of the oeuvre of the artist.<B>Condition Report:</B> Normal condition commensurate with age. Black tape around bottom rim.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Requires 3rd Party Shipping (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
